Cool Craftsy

Wanted to share this wonderful information I have been receiving email from Craftsy offering classes for $9.99 with 50% discount. I purchased two (2) already and they are great. One was apron with betz white and quilted tree skirt with Caroline Fairbanks Critchfield. Just wanted to share.

They must like you better than me. I haven't received anything like that.

Have fun with your classes!

I removed my comment because I see this information was posted in General Chit-Chat by Evie.

Unhappy Craftsy will be charging a monthly fee

Anyone wanting to sign up for classes with Craftsy, please do.
This came in my email this morning.

Craftsy to Become a Subscription Service in 2018*

Craftsy, an online provider of video tutorials, will become a subscription service in 2018. The change was announced to instructors earlier this month in a letter from Craftsy's CEO.
Since launching seven years ago, Craftsy has offered an a la carte menu of classes priced between $9.99 and $69.99. The purchase of a class included lifetime streaming access.

In the forthcoming subscription model, customers will be able to stream the entire Craftsy class catalog of 1,300 classes for a monthly fee. They will also be able to purchase a class using an "Own Forever" feature. (According to Craftsy customer service, consumers owning classes purchased since 2010 will continue to have lifetime access to their library.)*

Subscription pricing and other details are not available yet, but competitor Creativebug, acquired in April by Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores, charges a subscription of $4.95 a month. Craftsy, which was purchased recently by Comcast NBCUniversal, says the change to a subscription model is the result of marketplace studies that indicate potential customers feel a la carte pricing prevents them from fully enjoying the Craftsy curriculum.*

I find with Craftsy that I have all the classes I want for now. There can only be so much info on FMQ or piecing or binding, etc and most of that can be found from googling for U-Tube videos. On-Point videos are great and free. I will not do a subscription from Craftsy or Creative Bug.

I have downloaded the Craftsy classes that I have in the event that they would no longer be avaible--even though they said they would be.

Marlene how do you download them & do you put them on a usb drive? I don't seem able to do it as i'm technically challenged.
